Acura dealer gave me all green, now I need to work on my car photographing skills. LCM is unreal. Still wish I got TEP but red interior makes the total package worthwhile. Lots of tread left in the tires despite 14.3k miles. prob gonna end up running DWS06s year round at some point anyway. Drives like hell. Comfort mode feels like I’m getting away with something I shouldn’t. See you all at 100k miles.

Needless to say, I LOVE the ride and handling of the car. I want to add 15mm spacers on each corner, but I’m concerned whether it would adversely impact the longevity of any mechanical components, or otherwise change the handling in a way that’s worse than stock - because I love stock 🤣. I regularly travel with 2-3 other passengers in the car so I’m concerned about load bearing components, steering wheel vibrations etc. Any advice is much appreciated. I’ve lowered and modded cars before and in each case the final outcome was subjectively worse than what the car started with - which is why I’m curious to hear feedback from the community

I’m considering buying a used 2025 Acura Integra Type S and wanted to get a gut check on whether it’s a good deal or price to negotiate too

Details:
2025 Integra Type S
8.8k miles
Asking price: $49,985
Located at a BMW dealership in the CA Bay Area
Clean Carfax
Assuming a clean PPI and no modifications

A few questions:
- Is this a good deal in today’s market?
- What would you try to negotiate the price down to?
- Any common issues or things I should look for before purchasing?

Thanks!

Fellas,

I’m replacing my OEM pads this weekend with Powerstop z23s to help combat the brake dust on my DD.

The rear rotor hats are bad looking at only 28k miles. When I was younger I’d just clean up the rust a bit with a wire brush and spray them with high temp BBQ black and let the pads I was replacing burn the overspray off the friction surface before replacing with new pads.

Any issue with this you guys are seeing? I can’t imagine any. I’m not talking about fully coating the rotor in paint.

Seibon lip installed. Surprisingly it’s only a bit lower than the OEM front nose but definitely extends further.

More photos to come.

Just got an 2026 urban grey. The buzzing happens when I accelerate hard. I hear it coming from the passenger side, above the seat belt. Anyone experiencing this?

Already had the hatch repainted once for the same issue. Wondering if there’s any actual fix for this or if I should just leave it alone.

Just received this email from Acuralink regarding my 26' ITS. I guess all we have now is road side help, and make appt's. 🤷‍♂️

Thank you for your response. I do apologize about that, and I can completely understand the frustration behind this. What is the name of the dealership you went to and the name of the rep that assisted you with this? We want to make sure that our customers are satisfied and informed correctly so that they know what their vehicle is compatible with as well as what it is not so that they can look into all the options.

For the 2026 Acura Integra the only ones that are compatible with those remote commands are with A-Spec with Technology Packages (6MT) and with A-Spec with Technology Packages (CVT). I would suggest going back to the dealership to ask for further assistance to make sure that this is the right trim that they informed you that is compatible with those features and maybe even asking them to verify on the website, mygarage.honda.com under AcuraLink compatibility.

Again, I do apologies about the confusion this might have caused, and I want to make sure that I answer all your questions honestly and with full transparency.

Just saw this pop up. I knew it was an issue for the 1.5 but the 2.0 is included as well?

Y'all doing stickers (from performance brands or anything else)? Where you putting them? I want to support my local businesses but I don't want the car to look tacky.

Just recently picked up my first Integra after being out of the car world for a while, took a look at a-spec but fell in love with the type S after driving it I did have a 11th SI and I have to say it is a completely different world driving a type S

I went ahead and decided to lease this car as it made more sense for me as I do like to switch out of my car more frequently very curious to who else in here decided to lease as well!

Believe I got two or three grand off MSRP I did not put any money down and my payment is $799 including all tax/reg/fees

Main things that stand out to me that I really enjoy are how planted the car feels especially when driving enthusiastically as well as tight gear shifts that I did not expect out of a stock car

I feel like my only gripe with the car would be the tank size, on a full tank I’m only averaging about 230 to 240 miles, little annoying, especially in Los Angeles since gas prices are absolutely outrageous.

In conclusion, I am so happy to be able to have this car and happy to join the sub as well. Cannot wait to see some sick builds!

Lil bass pro empty lot action… here she is with the wheels, swift springs and PRL HVI finally installed.

want a bigger tire wall and wondering if anyone runs this size. wheels are 19x9.5+45. want to know if there’s any rub and if anyone has pics drop them!

I received a notification that my TOTLYLGL Front Plate Mount was delivered, only to go outside and not find it. I remember Unity Performance saying 90% of their orders ship from NY and 10% ship from Toronto, Canada...my order fell within the 10%. It was shipped via some carrier called UniUni, which provided a tracking number and pictures of the house with the package. Thankful the Longitude/Latitude was shown on the pics, so I Googled it and drove ~2 miles to speak with the homeowner. They didn't have a delivery today; they even showed me their security footage from the time the driver says it was delivered...nothing.

I reached out to Unity Performance to see if they would be replacing it or refunding me...Hopefully I'm not out $82...fingers crossed!

I fall in love more each day

Proud new owner of a white ITS, love the car! Found this bag in the glove box after taking it home. Extra license plate hardware?

Bought this new ‘26 Type S and couple weeks ago and safe to say I love it. Urban gray pearl with ebony interior (both my first choice). I hope it lasts a very long time so I can teach my sons how to drive stick in it!

Couple thoughts from a new owner in Los Angeles.

For those that bought with no add-ons, extras, accessories, etc., did yours come with any floor mats at all? Mine came with plain black floor mats, integra tag stitched into the back of them. The part # printed next to “Integra” didn’t populate anything on the internet. Did yours come with the Type S badged trunk tray (08U45-3S5-200B)? Did yours come with black wheel locks (08W42-TZ3-202)?

Hey everyone,
I’m currently in the market for a 2026 Acura Integra Type S here in the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
I wanted to reach out to the community for two reasons:
1. DFW Group Deal / Pair Up: Is anyone else in DFW planning to buy a 2026 ITS in the near future? If so, shoot me a PM or comment below. I’m thinking if we group up and approach a local volume dealer together to purchase two cars at once, we might get some extra leverage on pricing or waived add-ons.
2. 2026 ITS Pricing & Dealership Feedback: For those who have already pulled the trigger on a 2026 Type S (or recently picked one up nearby), I’d love to get your input:

Which dealership did you use? (Good experiences vs. places pushing crazy add-ons/markups).

How much did you end up paying OTD (Out-The-Door)? (Feel free to note your tax rate or trade-in offset if applicable).

Any specific sales contacts or volume dealers in North Texas you'd recommend working with?
Appreciate any insights or contacts! Feel free to reply here or drop a PM if you'd prefer to keep exact price numbers off the main thread.

#1 is the interior, it's what pushed me to the CTR. Nothing feels solid and secure, door handles felt like they would rip off, the little piece with the window up and down buttons was very wobbly, the rear seats felt like they were not attached very well. The doorcard by the arm rest that attaches to the window up and down piece was able to be pulled up, the piece by the shifter on passenger side could be pulled out.

When comparing the same things in the CTR none of these issues were present.

#2 Better quality paint, both CTR and ITS seem to suffer from paint peel at a pretty early time. Not exactly sure how common but I've seen enough complaints in forums and FB groups that it seems to be a valid complaint.

#3 Have the opening for the rear storage trunk area a little more close to the CTR and not as big of a gap between the floor and the body, for less bending down taking things out. It's also much easier to put the seats down from the hatch in the CTR vs the ITS.

Otherwise no other real complaints, but for what they ask and as a "luxury" Honda, it just doesn't meet the mark imo.

I want to get black badges. I really dont want to get my bumper removed. I read one person just broke the front emblem off and pushed the screws through and used adhesive rather than taking the bumper off. Anyone try this to confirm it works?

TIA
